“Lanling’s fine wine spreads a turmeric fragrant trace, Shining through jade cups with golden amber glow.”—Li Bai, “While Traveling” The spirit of Eastern wisdom in these two verses runs through the entire design of the room, complemented by the embellishment of western elements. To manifest the traditional aesthetic characteristics of brocade, the vibrant floral patterns on the screens are printed on silk fabric with some parts painted, weaving together elements of time and cultural refinement.

“Wild Venom” by Jeongmin Son

Shortlist in Use (product), Finalists in Use (product)
It was inspired by the film Venom.
Venom is a creature called “Symbiot,” but it cannot live without parasites on others. Its sex is cruel, wild and evil. I felt wild beauty from Venom’s appearance. It was also very noticeable, but the sticky texture and variety of shapes when transformed made my eyes shine.
I used this to design clothes with animals to express the Venom in a variety of ways while taking advantage of its nature. They were wolves, zebras and snakes. Each of the three means Venom’s wildness, violence and cruelty. These features were expressed by mixing the characteristics.
“Solitude” by Paul Italiano

Finding solitude requires finding places to be away from the cacophony and chaos of crowds, from haste and confusion, and from the incessant demands of the connected world.
I have sought out and made frequent visits to places where people walk or sit – where they can be alone in their thoughts. I framed each subject to show the space that has enabled them to feel alone, enough for contemplation. Then, with the use of light and shadows, I have sought to help the viewer reflect on the feelings of the subject.

Salt lakes, either natural or man-made, provide a virtual playground of colours, patterns and shapes. This image shows a man-made salt pan on a natural lake on the Yorke Peninsula in South Australia. The berm has broken, and there is a natural water flow between the natural lake and the man-made action. The shapes, patterns and colours have created a face-like image, which, for me, is quite warrior-like.

This project employs the method of linking to allow the audience to experience and reflect on the process of labeling abuse associated with personality tests(MBTI). Black dots and red lines serve as metaphors for the uniqueness of personality and the dynamics of communication. By simulating a crowd communication scene, the project illustrates how personality labels obstruct interpersonal communication and prompts reflection on whether societal labels create barriers to genuine interaction.

Life is not fair to us and gives us not the most pleasant surprises.
Sometimes you want to put on rose-coloured glasses and make the world light, airy and carefree. To escape from reality into the world of dreams.
You wrap yourself in an enveloping pink material, closing your eyes to reality, you have no sense of anxiety, it seems that there are no more problems.
But this is just an illusion…

This set of illustrations, “What’s in the Park,” was inspired by my walks in British parks. Every time I walk in the park, I see warm scenes of harmony between people and nature, leaving a deep impression on me. Therefore, I draw these beautiful moments into paintings, hoping that people who see this set of illustrations can feel the beauty of being connected to nature and inspire their desire to explore the park.

In today’s society with rapid economic development and technological updates, it is difficult for people to truly detach themselves from work, and the psychological distance between work and non-work has been greatly shortened. Psychological detachment refers to the withdrawal of individuals from the working state at both the time, space and psychological perspectives after work, so that the individual is temporarily away from work in both physical and mental aspects, thereby enhancing office workers’ happiness and improving work efficiency.

Stay Together
I have been creating works on the theme of love for many years. And I am interested in how those who love each other can be attracted to each other. I feel as if they were originally one being. Like mother and child. To keep them together, I put them in ice and photographed them. Their appearance changes one after another, each existing only for a moment. But it seems eternal. Eventually they melt, mix, and become one being.

Winner in Decorate (interior)
The new DEPARTMENT 57 club space is located in a unique historical building and combines club and bar areas that function both unitedly as well as separately. We developed distinctive, colourful, and unique visual styles for each space, using light and media art as our main tools.
Our main goal was to reimagine the club environment and bring it to the forefront of design, light, and media art. In order to achieve this goal, we eliminated all redundancies in the project to encourage guests to not only hear but also feel the music, to fully immerse themselves in a unique audiovisual atmosphere.

“”SKY MISSION”series YOKOHAMA CHIGASAKIHIGASHI HOUSE” by Shin Takamatsu
Image credits: licc.uk
Winner in Build (architecture)
A home cannot exist without a connection to the sky. This house is designed with that mission, drawing from traditional Japanese townhouses (machiya) that integrate nature through central gardens. Modern homes focus on functionality, isolating themselves from the environment. On a narrow urban plot, this house incorporates a central courtyard that brings light and wind indoors. The changing light and shadows reflect a deep connection to nature, and with all rooms linked to the courtyard, the space expands both horizontally and vertically, offering the feeling of living within the sky itself.
